- the oil sprayed into the piston from below is initially used for cooling in the cooling channel and then employed for cooling the combustion chamber floor and for lubricating the small connecting-rod eye.
- the shaker effect causes an oil mist to form, which ensures a corresponding cooling effect.
- German laid-open application DE 195 22 756 A1 discloses a piston with a channel-shaped sheet-metal part circulating the interior of the piston skirt arranged in the lower region of said piston.
- the object of the present invention is to develop a piston of the type in question as well as a cover plate of the type in question in such a way that the cover plate is fastened as securely and as captively as possible on the piston.

Description
- This application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2013 018 249.2, filed Oct. 30, 2013, and International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2014/002901, filed Oct. 28, 2014, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to a piston for an internal combustion engine, having a piston head and a piston skirt, wherein said piston skirt has piston bosses located opposite one another with boss bores, as well as shank walls located opposite one another with running surfaces, wherein a cover plate with a recess for the passage of a connecting rod is fastened in the lower region of the piston. The present invention also relates to such a cover for a piston.
- A piston of the type in question with spray cooling is known from the Austrian utility model document AT 001 919 U1. Said piston has a retention plate arranged in the lower region thereof, which is fastened to the piston by means of screwing, soldering, riveting, welding or press-fitting. The oil sprayed into the piston from below is initially used for cooling in the cooling channel and then employed for cooling the combustion chamber floor and for lubricating the small connecting-rod eye. The shaker effect causes an oil mist to form, which ensures a corresponding cooling effect.
- The German laid-open application DE 195 22 756 A1 discloses a piston with a channel-shaped sheet-metal part circulating the interior of the piston skirt arranged in the lower region of said piston.
- The object of the present invention is to develop a piston of the type in question as well as a cover plate of the type in question in such a way that the cover plate is fastened as securely and as captively as possible on the piston.
- The problem is solved in that the cover plate has two longitudinal sides located opposite one another and two free ends located opposite one another, and in that grooves are provided in the lower region of the shank walls, in which grooves the free ends of the cover plate are accommodated under resilient prestress.
- The cover plate according to the invention is distinguished in that a moulding, designed in a spring-elastic manner and u-shaped or v-shaped in cross-section, is provided between the recess and at least one of the free ends.
- According to the invention, it is provided that the cover plate is retained on the piston under resilient prestress. This renders the need for complicated fastening measures, such as screwing, soldering, riveting, welding or press-fitting, superfluous.
- The cover plate provided according to the invention collects back-flowing cooling oil and delays or prevents the discharge thereof in the direction of the crankshaft. The cooling oil can be introduced directly into the interior of the piston above the cover plate by means of an oil spray nozzle or flow out of a cooling channel, if available, into the interior of the piston. The shaker effect occurring when the motor is in operation causes the cooling oil collected by the cover plate to move back and forth at a high frequency in the direction of the boss bores and of the piston head, thus resulting in a better cooling effect.
- It has been determined in measurements that the operating temperature of the piston head, of the annular grooves and of the boss bores can be significantly reduced. In comparison with operating temperatures of 200° C. to 220° C. for pistons according to prior art, the operating temperatures in pistons according to the invention were reduced by up to 30%.
- The cover plate provided according to the invention also allows improved cooling of the shank walls, as the collected cooling oil in the region of the shank walls, i.e. between a free end and the central recess in each case, is accumulated and the improved cooling effect generated by the shaker effect is increasingly present in the region of the shank walls.
- Advantageous further developments result from the dependent claims.
- A particularly preferred embodiment is that a moulding, designed in a spring-elastic manner and u-shaped or v-shaped in cross-section, is provided between the recess and at least one of the free ends of the cover plate. Said moulding functions as a spring-elastic element serving to retain the cover plate provided according to the invention particularly securely on the piston under resilient prestress. Furthermore, the prestressing force of the cover plate can be regulated by means of the axial depth of the moulding. This allows the prestressing force of the cover plate to be adapted to various piston types and piston sizes and the range of possible uses thereof to be widened. The moulding also effects that a retention chamber for cooling oil is formed between said moulding and the free end or shank wall assigned thereto. This further improves in particular the cooling of the shank walls.
- The moulding practically runs parallel to the free end assigned thereto. This maximum spring-elastic effect of the moulding can be achieved as a result.
- An advantageous further development is to provide the cover plate with at least one latching element at each of the longitudinal sides thereof assigned to the piston bosses, said latching element engaging behind a lug provided on the piston under resilient prestress, thus causing a tongue-and-groove connection according to a type of clip, which constitutes additional position-securing for the cover plate according to the invention on the piston.
- The entire cover plate is preferably made of a spring-elastic material, in order to facilitate the insertion of the cover plate in the grooves.
- Should the piston according to the invention be employed in a motor with spray cooling, the cover plate has a recess in the region of the shank wall of the piston, in order to allow the passage of cooling oil.
- Should the piston according to the invention be additionally provided with a circulating cooling channel with at least one supply opening for cooling oil, it is advantageous if the recess with the at least one supply opening is formed in alignment. In such case, the cooling channel can also be supplied with cooling oil by the oil spray nozzle.
- The cover plate is preferably configured in a curved manner at least along sections of the longitudinal sides thereof. This facilitates the insertion of the cover plates in the grooves of the shank walls and also allows a further control of the spring-elastic prestressing force. Ultimately, the curved configuration effects that a retention chamber for cooling oil is formed between the recess and the free end or the shank wall, thus in particular further improving the cooling of the shank walls.
- The present invention is in particular suitable for pistons of a low compression height. Steel or light metal pistons, with or without cooling channels, can thereby be involved. A preferred area of application are pistons made of an aluminium-based material without cooling channel, as described in the German laid-open application DE 41 10 306 A1, for example.
- The exemplary embodiment of the present invention is explained in more detail in the following on the basis of the enclosed drawings. The figures show schematically, and not true to scale:

pistons pistons piston head 11 and apiston skirt 17 in a manner known per se. Thepiston head 11 has apiston base 12, acombustion bowl 13, a circulatingfire land 14 and a circulatingring part 15 with annular grooves for piston rings (not illustrated). A circulatingcooling channel 16 is provided at the level of thering part 15, said coolingchannel 16 having at least onesupply opening 16 a for cooling oil. Thepiston skirt 17 has piston bosses 18 located opposite one another with boss bores 19 for accommodating a piston pin (not illustrated). Said piston bosses 18 are connected with each other in a manner known per se via runningsurfaces 22 havingshank walls 21 located opposite one another. - As indicated in
FIG. 1a toFIG. 1c , acover plate 24 is provided in the lower region of theshank walls 21. Particularly evident inFIG. 1b is the fact thatgrooves 23 are provided in the lower region of theshank walls 21; saidgrooves 23 being shown in dashed lines inFIG. 1b and accommodating the free ends 25 of thecover plate 24 under resilient prestress. Thecover plate 24 has arecess 26, which serves to allow the passage of a piston rod when the motor is in operation. Thecover plate 24 also has twolongitudinal sides 27 assigned to the piston bosses 18. In order to achieve an optimally improved cooling effect, thecover plate 24 should cover the largest possible region of the underside of thepiston -
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of acover plate 24 according to the invention. Saidcover plate 24 is made of a spring-elastic material in the exemplary embodiment, is overall slightly curved in configuration and has twolongitudinal sides 27 located opposite one another and twofree ends 25 located opposite one another. An approximatelyconcentric recess 26 is also provided to allow the passage of a piston rod when the motor is in operation. - A
moulding 28, designed in a spring-elastic manner and u-shaped or v-shaped in cross-section, is provided in the exemplary embodiment between therecess 26 and each of the free ends 25 of thecover plate 24. Each ofsuch mouldings 28 in the exemplary embodiment runs substantially parallel to the free ends 25 assigned thereto and has the effect of a spring-elastic element, which serves to retain thecover plate 24 particularly securely on thepiston 10 under resilient prestress. Eachmoulding 28 has a defined axial depth T. Said axial depth T of themoulding 28 allows the mobility of the free ends 25 to be regulated in the longitudinal direction, i.e. parallel to the longitudinal sides 27. The larger the axial depth T, the more moveable are the free ends 25 of thecover plate 24. - The
cover plate 24 in the exemplary embodiment is provided with precisely two latchingelements 29 on each of thelongitudinal sides 27 thereof, said latchingelements 29 being of a substantially s-shaped configuration in cross-section. The latchingelements 29 are also configured spring-elastically. - Should the
cover plate 24 be provided for a piston for use in a motor with spray cooling, saidcover plate 24 comprises arecess 31 in the region of one of the free ends thereof, in order to allow the passage of cooling oil when the motor is in operation. -
FIG. 3 shows the lower region of apiston 10 according toFIG. 1 or 10 ′ according toFIG. 1c withcover plate 24 incompletely inserted in thepiston FIG. 2 in an exemplary manner.Continuous grooves 23 are provided in the lower area of theshank walls 21 in the exemplary embodiment. Saidgrooves 23 accommodate the free ends 25 of thecover plate 24 under resilient prestress. To this end, at least one section of thecover plate 24 needs to be of a spring-elastic configuration or made of a spring-elastic material by means of production, wherein a curved configuration of thecover plate 24 along thelongitudinal sides 27 can have a supportive effect. - The spring-elastic design of the
cover plate 24 in the exemplary embodiment predominantly ensues due to the spring-elastically configuredmouldings 28. In order to assemble thecover plate 24 in thegrooves 23 of theshank walls 21, the free ends 25 are moved in longitudinal direction and in the direction of therecess 26, whereby themouldings 28 yield. Once thecover plate 24 is located in the desired position relative to thegrooves 23, the free ends 25 are released and snap into thegrooves 23. Thecover plate 24 is thus fixed in thepiston mouldings 28 hereby influences the spring-elastic prestressing force, under which thecover plate 24 is retained in thepiston - The
mouldings 28 with theshank walls 21 assigned thereto form aretention chamber 32 for cooling oil. By this in particular the cooling of theshank walls 21 is further improved. - In order to achieve additional position-securing of the
cover plate 24 in the piston, lugs 33 are provided in the region of the piston bosses 18, said lugs 33 corresponding to the latchingelements 29 located on thelongitudinal sides 27 of thecover plate 24. If thecover plate 24 is completely inserted in thepiston elements 29 engage behind theircorresponding lugs 33, thus forming a clip-like tongue-and-groove snap connection (not illustrated inFIG. 3 ). - The
recess 31 in the exemplary embodiment is substantially arranged in alignment with thesupply opening 16 a in the coolingchannel 16, thus allowing the latter to be supplied with cooling oil as well. - The
cover plate 24 provided according to the invention collects back-flowing cooling oil and delays the discharge thereof in the direction of the crankshaft. The shaker effect occurring when the motor is in operation causes the cooling oil collected by thecover plate 24 to move back and forth at a high frequency in the direction of the boss bores 19 and of thepiston head 11, thus resulting in a better cooling effect, particularly in the region of theshank walls 21, as the collected cooling oil accumulates in this region.
